Mission Statement
The mission of the University of New Haven Safe Zone Program is to create a safe environment for anyone who is questioning or wishes to celebrate differences in sexuality, sexual identity, and/or gender identity. Through education, outreach, community resources, and identifying allies, we will promote understanding and support to students, faculty, staff and families.
The Meaning Behind the Logo
In the Nazi concentration camps, prisoners were classified according to their "crimes". Jews, for example, wore a yellow star (compound of two triangles); a pink triangle was assigned to gay men. After WWII, wearers of the pink triangle remained imprisoned for years afterward, even after Jews and political prisoners were released. The UNH Safe Zone logo incorporates an upside down triangle, which is symbolic of those pink triangles; it also includes the UNH logo as well as the rainbow (Freedom) flag, which is a international symbol of ending oppression.
